Credit Default Swap

11 – Credit Default Swap

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a credit default swap (“CDS”) with a third-party financial institution terminating in February of 2026 related to a secured loan between that third-party financial institution and our largest customer in Mexico. The secured loan was utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables and accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and January of 2024, we received $140 million and $142 million, respectively.

Under the CDS terms, within five business days upon notification of default, we could be required to pay the then outstanding notional balance net of recoveries. As of December 31, 2023, we had a notional balance of $130 million outstanding under the CDS, which increased to $260 million in January of 2024, following the receipt of the $142 million payment. As of March 31, 2024, the notional balance under the CDS was $242 million. Management expects the total notional balance under the CDS to decrease to $161 million, $54 million and nil by December 31, 2024, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The fair value of this derivative was not material as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any events of default under the loan agreement between that third-party financial institution and our largest customer in Mexico.
